KNOWLEDGE BUILDING IN HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

The purpose is to share our experience using a project-based learning method within an authentic context with fourth-level undergraduate students at the Faculty of Science of Education at the University of Seville (Spain). We intended to study how the implantation of this method and knowledge building processes are delivered. We focused on knowing the results of this process in the students' own opinions. Research techniques were content analysis for open-ended survey questions, and SPSS contingency tables for closed-ended questions. Conclusions contribute to our knowledge of the advantages and problems of implanting this methodology to support the knowledge building processes.
